The Wizard Of Oz Poster

In 1939 one of the most memorable film was released, The Wizard of Oz. In 1978 The Wiz, an urban reimaging of the exemplary novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz put an African American vibe to a film. The novel turned into films follows the adventures of Dorothy, a girl who embark on an adventure in strange and fantastical land just wanting to go back home. In this essay I’m going to plot each film and compare the main character of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and the Wiz and discuss how the design and music differ from each film.

The movie poster that I have chosen is Maleficent, produced by Walt Disney and is released in year 2014. Movie poster is very important as it is considered as an advertisement for a particular movie. With containing the powerful visual elements of the movie such as the famous actors, movie title and attractive image, it can easily grab the audience’s attention. Some of the movie posters may include the main actor’s name as well. These visuals are vital to convey impactful messages to the audience and persuade them to watch. Maleficent is an example of using actress’s name to attract audience. The main actress name, Angelina Jolie is written in an elegant and simple black capital letters in serif typeface and is placed in upper part of the poster.

This poster looks the way it does because it seems to glorify war with many hot colors (red, orange and yellow) and being an exceptional warrior. The people in the background seem to be in pain and dying. There also appear to be rather large explosions in the background. It shows a courageous and powerful woman wearing an armor and having two swords on her both hands. This thing is indicating an incredible woman who have many monsters behind her, and she walks through them. It means that she killed the monsters, overcame her challenges, and destroyed the war to protect the world and maintain the piece. The poster also shows that the movie with a supper woman will be coming soon because the poster has ‘COMING SOON’ is bold and and capital with

1. The Jaws poster is particularly effective due to its bold primary colors of blue and red. The red text jumps out through contrast, catching the viewer’s interest. In addition, isolation, convergence, and location causes the eye to move around the poster.

Frank Baums, The Wizard of Oz is arguably one of the most popular films made. Even though it was released in 1939, nearly three-quarters of a century ago, the film continues to entertain audiences and speak to them in a personal way. The question that comes to the mind when analyzing this film is: What is it about this film that gives it such timelessness? When reflecting on the film’s timeless qualities, it seems clear the plot is one of the things that enable it to maintain its relevance. Primarily, the plot of The Wizard of Oz is timeless because it is such an excellent example of the heroic journey, both in literally and cinematically. This journey of self-awareness is a metaphor for growth, which is something we all search to discover

During World War II government agencies, businesses and private organizations issued an array of posters relating to the military front to the home front by calling duty upon every woman to boost production at work and home. Posters conveyed more than simple slogans in fact posters expressed goals and needs of who designed them. They united power of art with the power of advertising to promote the idea that industry and home were also arenas of war. These campaigns not only aimed to increase industrial productivity they also aimed to enlarge people’s view on responsibilities during wartime. In fact, posters are a pragmatic art, they connect client with designer, artist, copywriter, printer and distributor but in many cases this connection become

I picked this image because I like how it has a rustic look too it kind of reminds me of the western movies. For the title I used a slab-serif called Rosewood Std as the font because it has the western feel, which works with the feel of the image. For the informational part I used sans-serif called Helvetica. I tried doing what Saltz mentioned when it comes to a dark or light background to use dark or white for the font so it’s legible to read. I, also like what Adam mentioned as well about negative space, which is the image itself and I didn’t want to over power the scenery with too much font. I wanted that negative space to be the eye-catching star for this poster. I once again picked some colors from the image for the color of my font

The visuals in the poster do a good job of displaying the feminist-driven message.Although it's not an official remake of J. Howard Miller's work, it continues with the same visual cues as his. At first glance, you think it's the famous Rosie the Riveter poster, with the 1950svibe and the same color palette, so it catches your attention. With a closer look, the viewer would realize that it's not the original and would continue to look and analyze the poster. At a closer observation, you can see that instead of a single female, like in J. Howard Miller's work, there are 3 colored women standing right next to each other because they literally "stand together."Going along with Rosie the Riveter's arched brows, the women's bold, challenging eyebrows

The students have just found out that one of Patricia Polacco’s books has been chosen to be made into a movie. Each student is responsible for making a Coming Attraction Poster that will be hung in all the local movie theaters. Each student will have already chosen and read the book. The poster (12” x 18” construction paper) should include title/author/illustrator. They are to list all the important characters to the story. Students can also assign an actor/friend to portray the different characters. An example of this would be Mr. Falker played by Tom Hanks. Students will then illustrate one scene from the book, and finally write a short paragraph explaining

Art, fashion, and costume design each one a word that certain people use on a daily basis, but has anyone ever thought about the meaning behind these words. If one is to stop and think about defining these words then they would most likely have a difficult time doing so. An individual might struggle with defining these words due to the fact that there is no one specific way to define them. One film in particular, The Wizard of OZ, does a great job showing examples of art, fashion, and costume design. Going to a museum and getting lost in paintings on the wall.

A group of people standing around a fire, while sacrificing another person. This is the image that comes to mind when I think of a cult. Why is that that I think of this image? Is it because of popular cultures negative connotation on cults? There are many different non violent cults that exist. Yet, our culture tends to focus and even emphasize the violent ones. This week I chose to watch The Wizard of Oz, directed by Victor Fleming in 1939. In this essay I’m going to be looking at the negative connotation given to cults, witches and witchcraft, and the effects of brainwashing and deprogramming.

In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, when Glinda said “She had to learn it for herself,” the it was that there is no place like home, she loves her family and they love her back, and she is satisfied on the farm. First of all, part of the “it” Glinda was talking about is that there is no place like home. The movie script states, “And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And- Oh, Auntie Em- there's no place like home!” This is one part of “it”. Dorothy has learned that Kansas is her home and that she loves her family. Dorothy says “there’s no place like home,” and that was part of the “it” that she had to learn in order to go home. She needed to know there was no place like home before she could really go home.

This is in 8th Grade at St joe's when we didn’t really want to end the year by doing anything special or as we saw it extra work but our music teacher wanted us to do something different that no class has done before, but literally none of my 22 other classmates wanted to do the play except maybe a couple of people who like to act and perform and were the leads. Wizard of Oz was the play that our music teacher chose and it was only a couple days away, and I being one of the lesser important parts was not really being prepared for it . We were doing the Wizard of Oz and I was one of the easiest parts a fighting tree… it may not seem like much but it was the part I wanted because you don’t have to sing or dance or basically say anything the

There always seems to be some discrepancy when a film is adapted into a movie. Often times, crucial scenes, or even characters, can be left out in order to satisfy the directors’ and screen writers’ visions. Unfortunately, such changes can clearly be seen in the film adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The movie leaves out characters such as the Witch of the North and the queen of the field mice, but adds characters such as Professor Marvel and Miss Gulch. However, while many changes were made, there are still a few instances where this “fairy tale” novel almost directly translates into the film. One scene in particular that is closely mirrored to the novel is when Dorothy first meets the scarecrow. This scene is nearly an exact word for word adaptation including dialogue, vivid visual images for the viewer, and how point of view directs the attention of the audience.

In 1939, Victor Fleming made a film version of L. Frank Baum’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” However, both the novel and the film focuses or touches on the same moral, it features the protagonist Dorothy who resides in Kansas the farm, along with her aunt Em and uncle Henry as well as her dog Toto. Both Baum’s novel and Fleming’s 1939 film adaptation the setting is in Kansas which is described as a small farm which Dorothy lives in which in Baum’s novel is picturized as gloomy, grey and dull. Throughout Fleming’s adaptation of Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” there are a number of differences which presents itself in a direct manner on screen as well as similarities. The variety of changes in the film’s adaptation tends to take
